Think about what Visit the American Museum of Immigration at the Statue of Liberty means to you. If you were to write an inscription for the poster, what would be the central idea? Would your inscription reflect a current or historical issue? The original inscription on the statue by Emma Lazarus reads:

The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in 1886. For most of the nineteenth century, immigration into the United States was from Europe. Today, many immigrants are from other areas of the world, such as South America and Asia. Some people think immigration should be restricted. To investigate the debate, use your favorite Internet search engine to find web sites about immigration and immigration reform.

Having many statues of different colors is one way to represent our multicultural society. Visit the Multicultural Pavilion at the University of Virginia for background information, and then create your own visual metaphor to portray your understanding of multiculturalism.
